Home after an offshore trip that was rather longer than expected.
I probably set some kind of record for the shortest time used to sort out Christmas in the less than two days I was at home. Needless to say there was very little in the way of actually going out birding.
On 21 December I did a few drive-bys whilst posting cards etc. Highlight was the long-staying Yellow-legged Gull gulbeinmåke at Dåvøy. The Heron gråhegre roost there was up to 32 birds.
Otherwise it was just about the usual suspects with seven Whoopers sangsvane at Tjeldstø, a couple of Long-tailed Duck havelle at Toft, a Common Scoter svartand at Oen and of course White-tailed Eagles havørn everywhere.
As I was leaving Øygarden on 22 December I picked up a Pinkfoot kortnebbgås together with two Greylags grågås at Breivik where there was also a small flock of Fieldfare gråtrost and nine Starling stær.
Back home the Otter showed well from the terrace both days.
